January 20th: Inaugaration Day
 

Hey guys. I was just wondering if anyone on HDC is traveling to Washington, DC to the inaugaration ceremony. It's been a tradition of mine to always watch it--regardless of who the president was--well in my lifetime, it's been just Clinton and Bush (I wasn't born in the 80s to catch the other Bush's inaugaration but I did witness Clinton and the 2nd Bush's ones) I hear DC's expecting 5,000,000,000 people--but that number may increase as the days leading up get closer. For anyone who is heading there expect traffic to be crazy as is usually is but I would reccommend leaving maybe 1 to 2 days before--because of the largely anticipated crowd. I thought tickets ran out to attend, but apparently people are still suggesting more may be issued--I'm not exactly sure about that. I thought people were suppose to request tickets from their own state's representatives for the ceremony, though.

Any way, I know not everyone on HDC is amped about politics as I am, or maybe even at all, but for anyone that is, I want to hear your thoughts? Anyone, a tad bit excited? :confused: :)

i was more excited that he won ...

not at all excited over the ceremony a month or so later

He won. He's the president. I don't see the big deal about a formality.

Five billion?!

Is China coming?

You are aware that there's only 6.5 billion people in the world?

Yep.

Honestly, the crowd will most likely be bored self-important college students with nothing better to do and looking for a cause to support and excuse to drink intellectually. I'm over all that.

My flight leaves on the 18th!!!

"Mr. Obama. We're all ready, but one thing. Babygurl20 isn't here."
"What the fuck!? Inauguration off!"
